Fantomas23 (463), Pewaukee, Wisconsin, USA Mar 5, 2006 And I thought it would be a real bummer to have Eliot Ness show up to a beer tasting, eleven brews in. Quite the contrary. An amber lager with a kind note of malty-sweetness. Untouchably refreshing. Drinking this is better than smashing a cart full of barrels. Unless of course, you’re Eliot Ness. gilvanblight (390), Windsor, Ontario, Canada Mar 5, 2006 Deep red pour, quickly fading head. Deep strong aroma. Cloudy to the point of being near opaque. Fruit and spice in the scent, sweet caramel notes. Very bitter for a lager. Licorice taste with caramel. Very weak aftertaste. Alcohol content suprised me as I didn’t note it in the taste and only noticed after. dkoonce (880), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA Mar 2, 2006 This has always been one of my favorites. This beer pours a reddish dark amber with an aroma of hops. The body is full and the finish is long. Too bad I was driving or, I’d have had a second. OldRaspy (292), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Feb 28, 2006 Pour was a dark amber with a reddish tint and a off-white head. Aroma was caramel malt with a touch of hops in the background. The flavor is wonderful. The sweet caramel malts make this a medium bodied beer. The initial sweet flavor is followed by just enough bitter bite to let you know the hops are there. Leaves you craving more. LutzBrau (43), iowa city, Iowa, USA Feb 28, 2006 Malty bready aroma, perfectly clear dark amber color. Great mouthfeel for a lager and complex flavor. An above average dark lager with good hops balance, slightly sweet. my kind of beer! antzman (313), Clarksville, Indiana, USA Feb 24, 2006 Bottle. Pours a deep amber with a medium head. The aroma is sweet, with hints of malt. The flavor has a nice balance of hops and caramel malts. Very smooth, clean finish. Excellent beer. Wish they could get distributed in Indiana again! TheBeerNinja (137), Durham, North Carolina, USA Feb 23, 2006 Pours a deep brownish amber with a thick off-white head that fades down to swils of foam. Nose is sweet and malty. Flavor is a bit thick for a lager, but it’s still a lager. Rich and malty with some hop bitterness in the end. Nice and smooth. A beer junkies lager for sure. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Feb 17, 2006 "Poured a dark orange with just a little cloudy, samll head and didn’t lace at all. Aroma was malty. Flavor was a little thin, almost watered down with the malts and breadyness in there."
